Dave, Would it be possible to open the WEFAX receive viewer window in place of both the normal receive and transmit windows? It seems like a waste of real estate to have to open another window. Also would it be possible to "lock" the WEFAX receive bandpass bars to what the decoder is looking for? This would make tuning a lot easier if we could use the waterfall with some actual "markers" like the other modes make use of. If this can't be done, could we make the WEFAX decoder operate like the other decoders, and pass the center frequency value to the decoder so that we could adjust the balck/white levels (and the other elements) relative to the decoder bandpass? The "sweet spot" for my radio is not up at 1900 Hz and the audio passband starts to drop off at around 2000Hz with the 2kHz filter in-line. It would be much better if we could shift the decoder center down to 1500 Hz (or so - in my case). Also the tuning bars added to the latest WEFAX don't really help as the time constant is too short and they bounce around from nothing to full scale. Adding about 10 seconds of time integration to the reading would stabilize the indications and allow these to be more useful as a tuning indicator. The prefs file does indicate "23", but on reopening fldigi, it is not recognized as IOC576. I'll download and install the 0AE later tonigh and give it a run for the money! :) BTW I love letting the program just sit on the WEFAX and pull in the Faxes! Being an avid boater, I did not have this capability on my boat, but I could tune the IC-710-M to any frequency (I had it "opened up" for Ham use also), but I didn't have the ability to capture the WEFAX images. One other "Honey-Do" - If we are sitting on a WEFAX channel and detect a 75 baud RTTY/850 Hz, why not switch to RTTY decode for the broadcasts and capture those as text also? This would probably need another thread to monitor the RX bandpass and detect the mode being used and activate the correct decoder/modem.
Thanks, Mitch Baum / AF2M "An Engineer is one who passes as an exacting expert on being able to turn out with prolific fortitude strings of incomprehensible formulae calculated with micrometric precision from extremely vague assumptions that are based on debatable figures acquired from inconclusive tests and quite incomplete experiments carried out with instruments of problematic accuracy by persons of doubtful reliability and rather dubious mentality with the particular anticipation of disconcerting everyone outside his own fraternity.

I addition, I am having a problem with decoding the RTTY 850 Hz shift even when set for 100 baud - 1.5 stop bits and Baudot code (5-level) Thanks, Mitch Baum / AF2M What broadcast are you copying the 850 Hz on Mitch?
